Golden Oldie

On Patience


Patience serves as a protection against wrongs
as clothes do against cold. For if you put on
more clothes as the cold increases, it will
have no power to hurt you. So in like manner
you must grow in patience when you meet with
great wrongs, and they will then be powerless
to vex your mind.


-Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519)
Artist, architect and engineer
